Abstract
The need for high-current transducers featuring wide-band and high-insulation levels is becoming a more and more impelling need in the electric power network, as the current distortion increases due to the proliferation of nonlinear, time-variant loads. The closed-loop Hall-effect current transducers show a good compromise between cost and metrological performance. On the other hand, they may introduce an unacceptable nonlinearity error when the dynamic range of the input current is a reduced portion of the dynamic range of the transducer and may show a large drift of their gain with temperature. The paper proposes a simple method for reduction of the nonlinearity error when the input signal is an unbiased sinewave and the automatic calibration of the gain. Experimental results are also reported, showing the method effectiveness.
